Why aren't EU citizens allowed to freely travel to the USA yet? I have a digital EU vaccination "passport" on my phone. Why should this not be recognized in the US? The Biden administration seems to be pretty vague on what it will take for them to allow visitors from Europe again. What a shame. Any thoughts?

Anyone who wants to can get vaccinated now. Who are we still protecting - the children who were never really at any risk anyway? Isn't the curve pretty flat now? How much longer are we really going to drag this out?

If you believe that hospitals turning the gift shop into hospital beds, running out of ICU space, and bringing in multiple freezer trucks to contain the dead did not represent overwhelming a hospital, then perhaps your concept of what overwhelms, is unrealistic.
